Clogs to shop when the Birkenstock Boston is sold out

Remember when you were younger and your parents, aunts and uncles, and grandparents would tell you about how your clothes were first popular in their time? While you may have scoffed at the idea then (I know I did when I was in high school and my mom told me that she, too, used to live in Sperry’s), here in 2023, you’re likely witnessing firsthand how popular fashion really does come back around. In addition to the return of low-rise jeans, crop tops, and platform shoes, clogs are yet another early ��00s trend that’s back and bigger than ever.

Specifically, the Birkenstock Boston Clogs—which are sold in Soft Footbed iterations ($158), as well as Embossed Suede ($142), Shearling Suede ($170), and vivid Suede Leather ($142) options—are the it silhouette of 2023. It means that the popular shoes are often sold out. Thankfully, there are plenty of other clog silhouettes to choose from—some that look like Birks and some that don’t. Ahead, uncover 12 popular clog styles for men and women.

1. Sorel Women’s Vibe Clog

The Sorel Women’s Vibe Clog looks an awful lot like the Birkenstock Ultra Blue Suede Leather Clogs. Instead of cork, the silhouette’s footbed is made of contoured EVA atop a cushy-yet-supportive foam midsole and graphic molded rubber outsole. In addition to the fun cobalt color, they’re available in black and tan in women’s sizes 5 to 12.

2. Polo Ralph Lauren Turbach Shearling-Lined Suede Clog

Men wear clogs, too. For a smart-casual aesthetic, the Polo Ralph Lauren Turbach Shearling-Lined Suede Clogs are the way to go. Sold in forest green, pale taupe, and teak brown in men’s sizes 7 to 15, the clogs feature an ergonomic footbed with a jute sole and hand-stitched accents. The star of the show is the soft shearling lining, though.

3. Rothy’s The Casual Clog

The Rothy’s Casual Clogs were met with so much fanfare that two of the five colors are already sold out. Knit with premium RWS-certified wool and recycled plastic, the wide toe box clogs are an eco-friendly dream. They’re available in women’s sizes 5 to 13.

4. Ugg Women’s Cottage Clog

For a more elevated clog silhouette, check out the Ugg Women’s Cottage Clog. The shearling-lined mules are made with 60% upcycled wool, so they’re a more earth-friendly pick as well. They’re sold in three colors in women’s sizes 5 to 12.

5. Schutz Grace Calf Hair Leather Flat

The Schutz Grace Calf Hair Leather Flat is a dressed-up mule. The Western buckle-embellished style is sold in smooth leather and calf hair options in women’s sizes 5 to 11. No matter which color you choose, there’s no doubt people will be staring at your feet in these statement clogs.

6. Jeffrey Campbell Bae Platform Clog

We love the look of the Jeffrey Campbell Bae Platform Clogs, which regularly pop up all over our Insta feeds. While they look like pebbled leather, they’re actually made entirely of rubber. The cult-favorite clog silhouette is sold in nine colors in women’s sizes 6 to 11.

7. Teva ReEmber Terrain All-Gender Clog

Whether you’re outdoorsy or you simply like to wear puffy, cozy clogs, the Teva ReEmber Terrain All-Gender Clog is a solid choice. I personally have them in the Dark Olive iteration and they’re my favorite shoes for camping, taking my dog out to potty, and simply roaming about the yard. They’re warm, cushy, and sold in 11 colors in women’s sizes 5 to 16 (men’s 3 to 14).

8. Dansko Professional Glitter Clog

Dansko Professional Glitter Clogs are a fan-favorite among nurses, restaurant workers, and everyday folks thanks to their supreme comfort and non-slip soles. Ahead of the holidays, the brand launched the silhouette, which is sold in European sizes 36 to 42, in red and black glitter iterations but plenty of other patterns and solid colors (including neutrals and brights) exist.

9. Merry People Billie Clog
